Tabata Mitsuru/Iku Sakan/Bocca Al Lupo

As T.S. Eliot put it, April is the cruellest month but March is the most psychedelic one, and kicking off a period of sweaty longhairs is the heavy and freaky guitarist Tabata Mitsuru: co-founder of Boredoms, once-and-future member of Zeni Geva and Acid Mothers Temple and consumer of copious Japanese blotter. Beforehand, fellow countryman and Maher Shalal Hash Baz collaborator Iku Sakan works a more traditional (for Berlin) tabletop set-up, and DJ Scotch Egg’s Drum Eyes violinist Kathy Alberici mutters from the heart in her Bocca Al Lupo guise.
